Vermont welcomes dogs. Wide-open spaces and public trails make for great places for dog owners to let their pups enjoy the great outdoors, and many lodging properties accommodate four-legged family members. Your dog will love exploring all the sights, sounds and scents of Vermont in all seasons. Visit a state park, take a walk on a rail trail or path - wherever you decide to visit, a trip to Vermont is guaranteed to get tails wagging. As you explore, please be respectful of various rules surrounding dogs. Some Vermont State Parks don’t allow dogs on beaches or at picnic areas, and do require leashes in certain other areas. Some private paths and parks ask that dogs remain leashed; it's best to know before you go. Best practices include bringing a leash with you and always picking up after your pet.
